Dad’s Grave

My Dad is buried out on our ranch on a hill with a great view of the Rockies. This didn’t meet my expectations. I kept feeling like he didn’t want me to paint this one. Weird.

I think it is a very good painting. I think your dad would be proud.

Hey Bob, maybe it's exactly what your father wanted and he would be with you when you painted it. That's why it was a bit strange, but look at it positively. Cool work👍🏼🇩🇪

What a wonderful place to be laid to rest. Your painting is a great likeness of the photo and a lovely tribute to your Dad. Despite that weird feeling, you managed to create a lovely painting which makes it all the more special.

Thanks LPainter. My dad would sit up there on horseback when he was alive and look at the mountains. He would always tell us that is where he wanted to be buried so when he passed we pulled together and made it happen.
